For those who haven't heard it already, Bruce Gilbert's collaboration w/ two members of Band of Susans is over 70 minutes of amazing guitar noise. The first half, recorded in Manchester, starts off very slowly, and then continues, at an unbelievably steady rate, to build into a more and more dense wall of sound. At the 20 minute mark I wondered, "How much longer can they sustain this?" The answer is another ten minutes. Then the guitars fade, and Susan's bass takes the forefront, as things finally fall into a quiet hum ... the "calm after the storm" effect. The second track is a remix done in London, and on a technical level it may be even more amazing, as the intense noise suddenly becomes an ambient calm: the guitar noise mixed down, the subtle hums take the lead. Just as Susan's bass marked a sudden decrease in intensity on track one, on this track the same sounds, all things being relative, mark an increase in noise. OK .. so this clearly isn't for everyone--if you have to be able to sing along and/or dance w/ music to enjoy it, this isn't for you. I can also understand why some may be hesitant to take the recommendation of a guy who actually liked IN ESSE, THE HARING, and both versions of MZUI. But this release is not nearly as avante garde as those ... if anything it reminds me of certain moments in the Fripp/Eno collaborations. (I assume you can hear--or will be able to soon--an example at wmo.com.) Anyway, for me this will be one of the best albums of this year ... as Dome's was last year. Two years in a row, WMO. Thanks!

Hedges To each his own ... but as it happens, of the 3 or 4 lists I'm on on which the movie has come up, this may well be the only negative review I've seen. I think I was the first on said lists to ever review it, thanks to the fact that a radio station here sponsored a free "sneak preview" showing more than a week before it was released for public consumption, & I loved it & found it rang both hilariously & harrowingly true for a music obsessive like myself. And yeah, I'd read the novel a couple of years beforehand. Loved *it*, too. But, to repeat myself -- to each his own. On the Buzzcocks list the movie Boogie Nights has been the subject of discussion the last day or so ... Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen in my life, along with Last Tango in Paris &, uh, Bloodsucking Freaks. Others (my newspaper's main critic, for instace ... of course, he also raved about Summer of Sam, which I found largely dull, though he *did* like High Fidelity ... & he also liked Phantom Menace, which I wouldn't go see if you held my Wire collection hostage) think it's brilliant. C'est la vie.

I don't know that I would say that John Cusack's character is particularly nerdy. A better description of the movie, and of the book that the movie is based on, is that it is a meditation on lost love and obsession with music. If he is nerdy at all, it is in an "obsession with music" way. I don't know anything about you in particular, but I guess I would think that anyone on a Wire mailing list is pretty hardcore about music, and probably could relate to such things to some extent. > I think it's fair to say that most American movies are way too predictable, > and usually insult the intelligence of anyone with an IQ higher than that of > a rock.

In general, I agree with your assessment of American movies, but this one doesn't really fit the mold, in my opinion. It is quite true to the book it was based on, and that book was written by a Brit. The movie transposes the story from London to Chicago, and updates the musical references from the lat 80's/early 90's to the more contemporary scene. I loved the book, and I expected the movie to be utter crap (I was especially dismayed at the inclusion of Lisa Bonet in the cast), but it turned out to be surprisingly good. I think the ovie is somewhat less "Hollywood" than other movies, probably partially due to John Cusack's involvement with the script and musical selections. Not that he's a musical or artistic genious, but I got the impression that he personally loved the book and wanted to make a movie out of it.

I'm sure I'd relate to some of the things in the movie--I've seen my share of that scene and did my DJ stint in college. But, I'm not a teenager or a twenty-something anymore - and I have a life. The thought of watching a movie to remind myself of those times of my life (seeing it from the guy's perspective, no less) makes me cringe. > In general, I agree with your assessment of American movies, but this > one doesn't really fit the mold, in my opinion. Well, I haven't seen it - just heard the reviews of it and saw the trailer - and get certain vibes about it. It definitely seems like the male equivalent of a sappy movie. I know, there have been way too many sappy chick movies out there, so I guess it's time for the men to get in touch with their feelings. sniff sniff > It is quite true to > the book it was based on, and that book was written by a Brit.

The last movie I saw with him in it was "Being John Malkovich". That was better than I thought it would be, so who knows, this could be okay too. Just doesn't interest me. Plus, gotta get the smart-ass female opinion in every now and then, to balance out all the smart-ass male commentary. ;-) Katherine > Lee > > ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000 23:29:17 +0100 From: "lucifersam" Subject: Re: idealcopy-digest V3 #183 Excuse me.

I was curious about this before I saw it - and at the theater where I saw the movie, most of the crowd were couples, there were several groups of just women, and very few solo males. Most folks were probably 25-35 (my wife Rose and I are 38), and very little nerdly babbling. The movie's only incidentally about music, actually - not that the music doesn't play a major role. What it's really about is how you deal with what's important to you, when those things conflict, and what it means to grow up. That sounds heavy going - but it's also pretty damned funny. I liked it - liked the book, too. - --Jeff J e f f r e y N o r m a n The Architectural Dance Society www.uwm.edu/~jenor/reviews.html ::the popularity of the gruesome FACES OF DEATH video series is ::apparently so great that a children's version is in production, ::to be called FACES OF OWIES. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000 22:21:18 EDT From: Eardrumbuz@aol.com Subject: Re: wonderful and frightening vocals (was wow) In a message dated 6/14/0 7:52:06 AM, MarkBursa@aol.com writes: > >What I'd give to be able to erase that twat from the Virgin Prunes' vocals >on >that track..... hey hey hey, hey hey hey now...i like gavin friday. i think he sets off the m.e. vocals nicely too. wouldn't wanna hear him on every fall song, or even every wonderful and frightening song, but one or two is fine by me. now how's about hearing mr. smith do some v.p. material...come to daddy maybe?!! - -paul ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000 22:34:15 -0400 From: Carl Archer Subject: Re: high (?) fidelity Keepin' it real hawdcawr!

Haven't heard the bon jovi song --it *could* be good. I may go out and buy the new Sinead O'Connor CD.

If anyone who's "nerdy about ... pets" can watch the end of My Dog Skip (which is on my mind because I saw it yesterday at the $1 theatre) without being on the verge of a breakdown, he or she is a better man or woman than I (who actually am not much of a woman at all).

I kinda lost interest throughout the half of it, which is a shame - a good director could have done it better. The script, though not perfect, promises much more than what we eventually get to see. giluz ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V3 #184 *******************************
